We had lots of Easter fun with Shake-n-Egg Easter Egg Decorating Kits from the Dollar Tree! A really great time for the bargain price of $1 for the kit.

I had to look up exactly how to make hard boiled eggs because I haven’t done it since last year. You just put the eggs in a pan and bring them to a boil. The remove pan from the stove and let them sit in the boiling water for 9 minutes. When the timer goes off, rinse them with cold water to stop the cooking process and that’s it!

This kit comes with a lot of beautiful, bright colors, and a plastic insert included to separate the colors and keep the colors from running together.

The die comes in separate packets and it was easy to pour them into the plastic holders.

It also includes sponges for each color to apply the die.

As you can see, we had some serious egg decorating taking place. The matching Easter hats was the icing on the cake!

http://momfabfun.com/eggmazing-egg-decorating-kit/#respondFri, 05 Apr 2019 17:57:07 +0000http://momfabfun.com/?p=12908I love to decorate eggs. Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve enjoyed the creative process of mixing different colors together, resulting in varied pastel blends of eggs for the Easter basket. Even the smell of white vinegar gets me excited for Easter!

So you can imagine my glee at finding the EggMazing Egg Decorating Kit, which provides Easter aficionados like myself with a new way of decorating colorful Easter eggs. In addition, since it’s easy-to-use and intended for ages three and up, it means my own kids can take part in one of my favorite holiday pastimes. Bonus: no mess, no vinegar smell and endless creative options!

You have to love the story on the back of the EggMazing Egg Decorator Box: As inventor Scott Houdashell watched his friends and family deal with messy kitchens, spilled dyes and clumsy accidents that are all-too-common with traditional Easter Egg decorating kits, he was inspired to try something new. “With a borrowed electric screwdriver, hot glue stick and a spoon,” Houdashell created the first version of this landmark Easter necessity. It went on to be featured on the popular TV show Shark Tank, too!

Each kit comes with the decorator (which requires four AA batteries, not included) and eight non-toxic markers in bright colors. It couldn’t be easier to put together; in fact, my five-year-old son installed the batteries and got it working before I could even turn around to help!

To get started, it’s simple: boil a dozen (or as many as you want) eggs and wait until they’re cool and ready to use. Place the egg in the opening on the decorator, turn on the operating switch on the side, and watch the egg start to spin! Kids can then use the markers included (or really, any markers) to decorate the egg as it spins. The results are truly works of art!

I think we’ve discovered a new Easter tradition in our household. Decorating eggs has never been easier or more fun! My kids are already clamoring for me to buy more eggs so they can decorate additional ones. They loved playing with different color combinations and seeing the results. Hurry up and buy yours today so you’re ready for Easter, this year on April 21! The EggMazing Easter Egg Decorator Kit is available on Amazon.com for $25.99.

http://momfabfun.com/perfect-craft-stepping-stone/#respondWed, 27 Jun 2018 02:00:24 +0000http://momfabfun.com/?p=11648Maybe it is because I love adding beauty to my backyard garden. Maybe it’s because both my boys could participate at the same time. Maybe it’s because the directions were so super easy to follow. Whatever the reason…..Perfect Craft Stepping Stone was my favorite craft to do with my kids EVER!

Once we agreed that we were going to make the stepping stone about the year we got our first family dog, it took just one afternoon from start to finish! Everything was included in the box so no need to go searching through your house for random lettering, paints, etc. There were unique shapes and different sizes of lettering to make it your very own design.

I cannot stress how easy this was to make! You create the design “backwards” inside the mold.

Mix the powder cement with water and massage in the bag for 3 minutes.

Pour the mixture into the mold that is ready and waiting on a flat surface. We chose to do this indoors because I was afraid of debris or bugs getting into it. It wasn’t messy at all!

We took a break in the action for a few hours to let it set. Then just flip it over and out it comes!

Now it’s time to add some color! If there was a challenging step, this one would be it. We chose the smaller of the two sizes of lettering, so my 6-year-old had a harder time keeping inside the lines with the paintbrush. I like to call those types of errors a “Beautiful Oops!” and I ended up just going over some areas. No biggie at all!

And voila! We have a pretty stepping stone to beautifully accent our backyard plants and remind us when our family grew with puppy love. I love it!

This craft is perfect for rainy days, too hot days, and just time to unplug the electronics days!

The backpack clips are so popular with elementary and middle school students that I often wonder how they can fit their bags into their locker with so many on?

Easter is a special time of year. It’s a time where we welcome spring, and celebrate new beginnings. It’s also a time to spend with family, and put on an Easter egg hunt! Easter egg hunts are not only a favorite activity for kids, they are also a fun tradition for adults. While traditional plastic eggs hold candy or money, don’t be afraid to add a fun spin on the game and place clues inside, leading to an Easter basket.

http://momfabfun.com/preparing-for-the-easter-bunny/#respondThu, 22 Mar 2018 16:35:22 +0000http://momfabfun.com/?p=11099Easter is one of the best holidays. Not only does it indicate the beginning of spring, but it’s also a time we spend with loved ones, especially our children. Easter morning is almost as exciting as Christmas, so why not prepare for the Easter Bunny similar to preparing for Santa? Have your little ones write out a letter to the Easter Bunny and prepare a snack for him for all his hard work in hiding the eggs.

On Easter eve, or early Easter morning, use Personal Creations’ bunny footprint templates to create bunny footprints around the house! They come in three sizes, and are simple as cutting on the dotted line, and sifting flour through the template. This shows the path the Easter Bunny took through your home or your backyard. Your children are sure to be in awe when they wake up and see the Easter Bunny came for a visit!

The Easter Bunny footprints are printable templates that you can cut out and use as a stencil to sift flour through. Once you’ve created a white footprint, slowly remove your template and you’ve got an Easter Bunny footprint! To download the templates Click Here.
